Well [C]I don't care if I get arr[D7]ested,
'Cos to[G]night they'll need more than a ball and [C]chain, [G]
[C]I don't care who's inte[D7]rested,
I'm [G]coming into town just the [C]same. [G]
I've been [C]so alone, I've been [C7]feeling blue,
I [F]think I need a little [F#dim]drink or two,
[C]Be my friend, tell me where the [D7]place is,
Where the [G]whiskey flows and the dices roll till [C]dawn? [G]

My [C]baby's done me wrong you must have [D7]guessed it,
My [G]heart's so low I think it must be [C]told, [G]
That [C]I don't wanna know where east or [D7]west is,
'Cos [G]pretty soon I won't feel the [C]cold. [G]
When I'm [C]walking down mainstreet, [C7]feeling no pain,
A[F]long comes a cop, he can [F#dim]take my name,
And [C]explain to me what a federal [D7]case is,
I'm [G]mixing the barley with the grape [C]again.

[E]Bright city [Am]lights, [E]make me feel al[Am]right,
[D7]I'm right or wrong and to[G]morrow never [G7]comes.

[C]I don't care if I get investi[D7]gated,
And the [G]city fathers they all black my [C]name. [G]

I'm [C]pretty sure that you can smell the [D7]traces,
For to[G]morrow morning, I'll take all the [C]blame. [G]
I've been [C]feeling bad and [C7]feeling blue,
I [F]think I need a little [F#dim]whiskey or two,
[C]God, brother, you look like you could do with it too.[D7]
(That's true)
[G]Tonight I'll sleep on a walking-cane.[C] [G]

[E]Bright city [Am]lights, [E]make me feel al[Am]right,
[D7]I'm right or wrong and to[G]morrow never comes.[G7]
[C]I don't care if I get ar[D7]rested,
Cause to[G]night they'll need more than a ball and [C]chain. [G]

[C]I don't care who's inter[D7]ested,
I'm [G]coming into town just the [C]same, [G]
I've been [C]feeling alone and I've been [C7]feeling blue.
I [F]think I need a little [F#dim]drink or two.

Hey, [C]be my friend, tell me where the [D7]place is,
Where the [G]whiskey flows and the dices roll till [C]dawn? [G]
